PDF to CSV Converter
Extract text laid out in rows and columns from a PDF into a downloadable CSV file, openable in Excel.
About this tool
Extract text laid out in rows and columns from a PDF into a downloadable CSV file, openable in Excel. It runs entirely in your browser using open-source PDF libraries, so your document is processed on your own device and never uploaded to a server. That makes it a fast, private option any time you need to extract tabular data from a PDF into a CSV file.
How to use it
- Upload a PDF that contains a table or column-like layout.
- Let the tool detect rows and columns from the text positions.
- Download a CSV file ready to open in a spreadsheet.
Tips
- Works best with clean, grid-like tables rather than merged or irregular cells.
- Always open the CSV afterward and skim it, since column detection is text-position based, not perfect.
FAQ
Will this work on a PDF that's just a scanned image of a table?
No, it needs real extractable text, not a scanned image.
